Adds a button to Google Maps, to locate you at your current position
THIS ONLY WORKS ON THE NEW VERSION OF GOOGLE MAPS!
If you click on this button this extension will determine your location and center the map at this point.
Google Maps lets you set your default location, which is undoubtedly useful, however if you're on vacation or even at work it won't help you any more if you'd like to find your current location fast and easy.
Please Note:
The determined location won't often be really accurate (you may have some luck, when your're using wifi) but at least it will be on city level :)
[CHANGELOG]
* 0.5
* It's back! For the new maps, because it's lacking a locate me feature
* now needs access to all websites, because the extension determines whether it's currently operating on an Google Maps website. This is needed, because otherwise there would be a need for a handcrafte list of Google Maps domains.
* 0.2
* permission for domains was broken, it's fixed now

- This extension appears to be unmaintained and not functioning on the latest version of Google Maps.

- It's all fine and dandy but when you zero in on a picture of a business or home address it is a year or two old. Big Whoopie!!

- Wish Google hadn't left this out. Thanks for making this. There's a few problems with this though, unfortunately. 1. The icon is the same as the search icon. 2. It's quite slow, and not obvious when it's working. Overall though, happy with it, would be better if those were fixed.

- I miss the option if the site is not quite true that you can adjust it yourself
